A very disciplined and well-maintained college with lots of opportunities in every field.

Placements: Though there is no placement guarantee in the course. College has arranged career cafes in which people are directly hired by companies like Sanmarg, T2, and many others. A lot of our seniors have started their careers in this, even we get internships in the very first semester of our course.

Infrastructure: We get the best facilities with good Wi-Fi connection, air-conditioned classrooms, good food, and library facilities. Mess food is not that good but the canteen is 8 out of 10. The classrooms are equipped with projectors, labs, and advanced technologies to encourage students to participate more.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and supportive. The curriculum includes all the aspects of practical and theoretical knowledge that help students handle real-life pressure. The exams are arranged with strict discipline, and biasness is never encouraged.

Other: The best thing about the course is that it develops the confidence of public speaking and makes you feel more enthusiastic about your goal.
